There are many lending institutions that offer a variety of mortgage products. Financing options and rates can vary widely, so it is important to do your research and shop around to ensure you get the mortgage that best meets your needs at the best price.  

If you are not certain about some of the terminology used in the market, take a look at our Real Estate Glossary.  You might also be interested in the different types of financing programs available.  If you are a First Time Homebuyer or existing Homeowner, you may benefit from some of the Homebuyer incentives. One of the most helpful tools available to potential Buyers is the Extended Tax Credit.  You can find additional information about the credit in the Buyers section of this website. 

Below is a list of experienced.  These are individuals that I have worked with personally.  If you don't receive the highest level of service from each of them, please let me know.  You are my first priority.  If you would like to learn more about any of the lenders below, please contact them directly. 

You might wonder why I would bother to have preferred lenders.  These are professionals that look beyond your rate to provide products and services that are in line with your goals.  They are professionals that I've seen in action and have proven themselves over and over again to be reliable, knowledgeable and have good resources to support your loan.  Picking a good lender is more than selecting a rate.
